It was a really good piece until I got to the above. The authors are dead wrong. There is nothing offensive about exposing hypocrisy, except, of course, to the hypocrite.
I disagree. The quote you use is saying that some on the right are trying to blame the left for the shooting just as the left is trying to blame the right. Neither is being hypocritical, both are just wrong.
They missed the point. The conservatives were posting in response to the attacks from the left that started immediately after the shootings. The conservatives would rather not have to engage in such an exchange, but the left brought this one on, so the right is acting literally in self-defense here by pointing out the rank hypocrisy of those on the left who started the attacks.
yesterday right-wing websites were reprising this or that quote from Democrats and even President Obama invoking some martial or weapons metaphor to suggest they are as culpable. This is as offensive as the blame-Republican implications in the New York Times.
Remarks like this are typical of rino and rino writers. They try so hard to be moderate. They can be talking about a liberal killing a thousand people and they will always add “And the republicans need to stop, too.”
